  • This invention pertains to a composition(s) and method(s) of inhibiting scale formation and deposition in membrane systems.
  • Nanofiltration (NF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), Electrodialysis (ED), Electrodeionization (EDI) and Membrane Distillation (MD) membrane processes have been used for the treatment of brackish (ground and surface) water, seawater and treated wastewater.
  • solubility limits of sparingly soluble salts such as sulfates of calcium, barium, magnesium and strontium; carbonates of calcium, magnesium, barium; and phosphates of calcium, are exceeded, resulting in scale formation on a membrane surface as well as in the system.
  • Membrane scaling results in the loss of permeate flux through the membrane, increase in salt passage through the membrane, and increase in pressure drop across membrane elements. All of these factors result in a higher operating cost of running the above-mentioned processes and a loss of water production through these membrane systems.
  • Antiscalants are successfully used either alone or in conjunction with a pH adjustment (in case of carbonate and phosphate scales) to inhibit scale formation.
